New Student Orientations set for January

OSU-Tulsa will host several new student orientation sessions in January to prepare students for spring classes.

New undergraduate students can choose from sessions scheduled for Thursday, Jan. 6 at noon and 6 p.m. or Saturday, Jan. 8 at 10:30 a.m. All three sessions will take place in North Hall 150. Online registration is encouraged, but not required.

An International Student Orientation is also scheduled for Saturday, Jan. 8 at 1 p.m. in North Hall 140. Current international students will share their experiences and answer questions.

OSU-Tulsa’s Graduate Student Orientation will take place Saturday, Jan. 8 from 10:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. in the Main Hall Commons. Current and new students can meet fellow graduate students and professors while learning about the various workshops, resources and services available through OSU-Tulsa’s Graduate Student Services Center.

All orientation sessions will offer students the opportunity to tour campus and provide information about campus life activities, student organizations and other valuable services. Students will also learn how to participate in the Orange Power Pass rewards program.

Green Tips for Holiday Break

OSU in Tulsa is experiencing significant results in the university’s energy conservation and paper recycling programs. Together, OSU-Tulsa and OSU’s Center for Health Sciences saved $365,694 in energy costs from January to September of this year, representing a 31.5 percent savings.

In addition, the two campuses have recycled 18.5 tons of paper since May, reducing the university’s waste pick-up charges by $2,200. This is equivalent to saving 315 trees, 77,000 kilowatt hours of energy and 61 cubic yards of landfill space.

The holiday break is a great opportunity to continue these efforts. Before leaving the office, do your part to help conserve energy.
